The newest innovation of AEWIN’s network solution in a Cloud Data Center

April 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Apr. 2, 2013, Taipei, AEWIN Technologies Taiwan –According to the report of Cisco® Global Cloud Index: Forecast and Methodology, 2011–2016, the Internet is forecast to reach the zettabyte era in 2016, but the data center has already entered the zettabyte era.  The Internet traffic and IP WAN networks is projected to reach 1.3 zettabytes per year in 2016, and the data center networks is already 1.8 zettabytes per year, and by 2016 will nearly quadruple to reach 6.6 zettabytes per year. This represents a 31 percent CAGR.  The impact of cloud computing on data center traffic is clear.

Growth of workloads in cloud data centers will be five and a half times that of the growth in traditional workloads between 2011 and 2016. In the past, one server carried one workload. Recently high power and performance multi-core computing capacity and virtualization, multiple workloads per physical server are common in cloud architectures.

To successfully support a range of application types is a central requirement of data center architectures. Following are some of the key requirements

l   Performance—High performance is essential to employee productivity, customer satisfaction and the enterprise’s bottom line. Application response time is the most fundamental component of understanding application and data center network performance.

l   Scalability- A successful Telecom carrier and Internet Data Center must be able to readily and cost-effectively scale business applications, even when capacity limits are reached within existing data centers.

l   Accessibility- Enterprises must support access from corporate headquarters, branch offices, other business establishments, home offices, wireless hotspots and cellular networks throughout the world.

l   Agility- Agility improves with the user’s ability to provision infrastructure resources rapidly and inexpensively. Business applications that support agility can help reduce time to market, strengthening the organization’s competitive position and increasing market share.

l   Availability and Continuity—In order to protect an network connection and security application keeps protect Telecom customers’ information, network device in carrier network and data center must be available and keep their productivity must not suffer when failures occur.

The newest AEWIN network solution for cloud data center is chose the highest performance Dual and Quad Intel® Sandy / Ivy Bridge Xeon E5-2600 and E5-4600 series processer and C604 PCH.  The SCB-9651 has built with Quad Intel newest generation processor and 32 cores.  The Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 product families are the next generation of 64-bit, multi-core enterprise processors built on 32-nanometer process technology and designed for a two chip platform consisting of a processor and a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) enabling higher performance, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint.  Especially, the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 product family processor supports scalable server and HPC platforms of two or more processors, including “glueless” 4-way platforms.

In Carrier Grade network devices need highest computing power to meet the highest network processing requirement.  In this Carrier grade network solution segment, AEWIN choose the latest Intel® Xeon® processor with four cores per processor in SCB-9651, SCB-9650 and SCB-9610 network platform. Each processor supports Simultaneous Multithreading Technology (SMT) in a Dual Processing (DP) configuration interconnect with the I/O Hub (IOH) chipset through the latest Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (Intel® QPI) system bus offering high-bandwidth data transfer between the In Carrier Grade network devices need highest computing power to meet the highest network processing requirement.

Equipment providers who are looking to base their designs on traditional SMP for reasons of simplicity and convenience should understand the possible drawbacks before proceeding.  Increases in performance when moving from a single-core to a dual or quad-core system do not necessarily translate into similar performance advances when moving from a quad-core system to systems with eight or more cores.

The Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) is a set of data plane libraries designed for high-speed networking.  The Intel® DPDK provides a set of APIs that can be used from Linux user space, offering low-overhead alternatives to traditional Linux system calls, enabling the creation of purpose-built user space applications that can scale in performance beyond what native Linux can offer.

Compatible across all processors in the Intel architecture (IA) product family, the Intel® DPDK offers a single software programming model that can be used from the Atom to the latest Intel Xeon processors, able to accommodate vastly different networking applications and system configurations.  In order to offer the Max. Network performance by Intel® Xeon E5-4600 series CPU, AEWIN software team invest much time to deploy Intel DPDK model in AEWIN SCB-9651, SCB-9650 and SCB-9610 Intel® Xeon E5-4600 and E5-2600 series process to make Data Plane and Control Plane’s performance to be the best.
